LOAD REJECTED The MEGALODON load!!!

Rise and shine Good morning everyone! Today we had probably one of the biggest loads ever recorded for one customer. A residential customer at that! This customer ended up living off of a main Highway with no side streets And no place to safely offload the vehicle. the customer or the shipper did not even offer A police escort 😑😑😑 for our safety. The craziest thing is that when you place an order there is supposed to be a questionair to ask the customer qualifying questions, now we don't know exactly what the questions are but the people who sent us there knew what was going to be on this order and how much material it was going to be in the address before we knew. Someone from the shipper could have checked it out.

You knew it was gonna be good the way it started cause our guy is normally calm, cool, and collected when he’s delivering and he’s yelling at the start.

I've worked in the building materials industry as yardman, loader, delivery driver and now an IT position for a company which actually owns a few of the businesses you deliver for. What I can't seem to figure out is why your dispatcher doesn't pull addresses up on Google maps and check out the area to determine what kind of truck to send load on. It blows my mind. It's so simple and a common practice.

[@SaffordDelivery]

Yeah it's literally the highway

[@TechGently]

Similar to the IT industry. Always went in PRIOR to the job and scoped it out. Do they have insulation in the ceiling, what kind of network are they running? If my company did a SOW blindly we'd lose a ton of $$$. For a brief moment of insanity I took a Solar job (lasted 6 months, soul sucking), we would use Google Maps to see if the prospect asking for solar had enough space on their roof for the panels, one while very cool and friendly, had a rusted out roof, it took me 15 seconds to get that information.

Home Depot Deliveries have ALWAYS been Curbside Delivery. It is in Bold Print on ALL copies of the Delivery paperwork. The Customer even SIGNS understanding that the Delivery is CURBSIDE. A friend of mine years ago did deliveries for Home Depot. On several occasions, he brought the Customer order back to the Store, because they wanted the Driver to place it elsewhere.

[@briancummings9122]

I'd see the shipped going "we don't care what cops say" 😂. Happened near me so the fine got given to shipped who then changed their tune.....15k dollars for "illegal/unsafe stopping" along with "ignoring police orders" and a few other things.

[@CCTOutdoorServices]

The stress is real !!! Love the video, we need more like this !!!

[@bostedtap8399]

Bet that's a great feeling, having your reason not to deliver confirmed by a State Trooper. Excellent call. Stay safe.

[@mlt6322]

That load needed to be delivered by rollbacks, 2 maybe 3 of them that could navigate the driveway where your rig couldn't go then just slid off onto the ground.

[@cmcneill60]

You could also drive your forklift on the driveway, pull your truck straight up to the exit in front of you, take off the passenger side piece, then back up in the driveway and turn your truck to the right like you were leaving, park your cab on the shoulder and get to second piece where the dirt is

[@user-yr4no2fx3c]

You knew your life was worth more than that load. Surprised those guys after you tried it.

[@stvnswnsk557]

[@sharkey086]

Good do what you gotta do, make it home at the end of every day. Sucks for the customer but not worth risking your life or that of others. Good call!

[@LavenderSystem69]

I delivered signs to a PGA event... took one look at the narrow ass driveway flanked by 3 foot deep ditches, and I already knew that 53 foot trailer behind me was NOT gonna be able to successfully chase the tractor without catching the ditch and laying down. Told the customer to offload me on the road, he did, and now I'm permanently uninvited from delivering anything for the PGA. Not that big of a loss, IMHO. It was literally 2 pallets in a whole ass 53' trailer. I was literally 99.999% sailboat fuel, that's how empty that trailer was once loading was finished

[@SaffordDelivery]

Danggg

[@shaneroper5470]

8 loads? in a few trips with a flatbed truck with forklift. That would make more sense. How hard can it be to Google maps the site and send the appropriate delivery vehicle. 80 ft transport, or 30 ft flatbed. MAN! ..... Why do I feel I've said this before lol

[@HawksDiesel]

That would require extra work....

[@dougwalk8034]

that would be an easy one as long as the whole load is on the house side, just leave the moffitt in the driveway and keep pulling the truck up as you unload, if its on the highway side you cannot do it !!!

[@SaffordDelivery]

It's most of the truck

I like your videos and you’re straight up audio. I am a residential service plumber and I don’t get shit as much as you, but I like the:26 🛠 way you tell them take it or leave it. I also respect the fact that you drive that huge truck with the forklift on the back and all of your liabilities

[@samstory8428]

Just my thought... where the customer is at off the highway probably just small 2 little lane in the beginning. You can't fault the customer. You can't always assume easy delivery.. Sometimes you will face this kind of situation. Sounds like to me they could have attempted to deliver in smaller load with multi trips so void this kind of situation. But I agree no delivery is worth risking your life. Keep up the great work...

[@justabout6144]

Good call.... Don't know why they don't put the onus on the customer to disclose difficult delivery and access issues when ordering materials. Then a quick Google map Search will may help. Nice one

To your right there is several feet of dirt, you park on that and take off the driver side pallet then pull the truck up and park your forklift on the driveway,back the truck up take off passenger side pallet, pull your truck up and secure load.

[@williejaster]

Spent over 40 years in the freight industry. Drove everything from a 2 wheel push cart to 18 wheeler With 53 foot dry box & everything in between, including refrigerated, tank, flatbed, container, & stagecoach. Even had to park my truck & drive the desk supervising drivers when boss had to be away for any reason. Now thankfully retired. If any of my drivers had pulled the stunt that driver did he would have been fired on the spot. While driving the desk I had full authority to do anything except sign checks. The driver in the clip violated the first safety rule of flat bedding. NEVER, FOR ANY REASON, THROW THE HEAVY HOOK END OF A CARGO STRAP OVER THE LOAD. IF ANYONE HAPPENS TO WALK PAST THE TRUCK ON THE OTHER SIDE, THAT FLYING HOOK WOULD KILL HIM IF HE HAPPENED TO BE HIT ON THE HEAD. ALWAYS ROLL STRAPS WITH THE HOOK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ROLL. THEN HOLD THE HOOK WHILE THROWING THE SOFT ROLL OVER THE LOAD. If the tail end of the strap happens to bump the person's head it might knock his hat off, but cause no injury. If using chains instead of straps, we ALWAYS walked the top of the load. Either carry chain & drop an end over each side, or have a second man walk along side & hand the end of chain up to where man on top could catch it with a long hook. End of rant. Stay safe out there.

[@4NaturesStory]

I saw a guy get hit in the head! Left a big bump and bled a little but he not only survived with his life, but also worked 10hrs afterward and then went the bar and took home a random girl.

[@MrWarneet]

Here in Australia the law protects the driver from management or customer pressure when the driver refuses to do anything illegal or unsafe. Actually plenty of management have gone to Jail over this.

So you cannot deliver to this location. BUT the next question is is there equipment that you don't have that COULD deliver to this location? Sounds like if you have enough problems with this type of deliver location that could be a business opportunity. In other words perhaps the 18 wheeler is too big for some percentage of delivers?

[@jyama537]

I've noticed you rent trucks from penske. Could you do a review on the various brands you've driven? Pros and cons, likes and dislikes. I've driven freightliner and international day cabs and I am curious if my opinions on truck brands match others who drive them.

[@SaffordDelivery]

Yes we can but we can already foresee one dramatic inconclusiveness, The owners of the trucks that we have rented all differ so the preference of the trucks vary greatly. Also the setup of each truck is different.

[@jyama537]

See, for me in Hawaii driving 10 speed tractors in extremely tight spaces, freightliner seems to have more torque but has a hard time turning sharp. International doesn't have the power but will turn on a dime. Freightliner has a far superior Jake brake. International has a better driving experience like it's quiet and seats are more comfortable

[@davidsmith385]
